Case Case Alpha Series: SR130-SR270 / SV185-SV340 / TR270-TR340 / TV380 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case skid steer hydraulic response feels jumpy or erratic when attachments are connected
Check the control pattern switch on the operator console described. Confirm it is set to ISO or Case pattern rather than Speed Drive mode, since mismatched flow scaling causes the jerky feel. Verify the hydraulic reservoir oil level on the sight gauge; system capacity is 15.0 l (3.96 US gal). Inspect the joystick connectors for looseness if the pattern setting is already correct.
Manual Section: Controls/InstrumentsHydraulics won't engage or stay live after pressing the hydraulic engage button
Fully depress the lap bar until it locks down; the hydraulics enable circuit stays disarmed otherwise. Check the troubleshooting index on pages 191-193 for Hydraulics Enable faults if the button still won't respond. Verify the hydraulic reservoir oil level sits within the sight gauge range, capacity 15.0 l (3.96 US gal), since low fluid can trip pressure interlocks. Cycle the bar down and back up before retrying.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 191Engine overheating warning lamp comes on and coolant level keeps dropping during long shifts
Watch the dash bar gauge; all eight bars flashing with an audible alarm means coolant temperature exceeded 110 °C (230 °F), as detailed on page 94. Shut the engine down and let it cool before checking the coolant level in the sight tank. Refill with a 50% ethylene glycol and 50% distilled water mixture and recheck the level every 250 hours per the maintenance chart on page 178. Clean debris off the engine and hydraulic coolers daily.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 178DPF Info or Auto Regen message keeps appearing on the display during normal operation
Check the error code reference on page 191 to see whether Auto Regen or Manual Regen is being requested. Park on level, ventilated ground and let the automatic cycle finish without shutting the engine off; follow the dash prompt to run Manual Regen stationary if asked. A clogged air cleaner element restricts airflow and can trigger repeat regen requests, so inspect and replace elements at the 500 hour interval on page 183.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 191Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset CASE skid steer error codes for models like SR130, SR160, SR175?
The manual does not provide a direct operator procedure to 'reset' error codes. For fault codes associated with a red light and an audible alarm, the unit should be shut down and the dealer contacted for support. For fault codes associated with a yellow amber light, the Aux Override button can be used to move past the fault code; if the code appears again, contact your dealer for support. p. 191
What are the replacement specifications for the Cab Intake Filter?
The cab intake filter should be replaced if it is damaged, torn, or clogged with debris and dirt. The service interval is dependent on the amount of use and operating conditions, with more frequent checks recommended in extreme environmental conditions. p. 174
What are the replacement specifications for the In-line Fuel Filter for SR130/SR160 models?
The in-line fuel filter should be replaced every 250 hours of operation. This procedure should only be performed when all machine components are cool. p. 179
What is the fuel tank capacity for SR130 and SR150 models?
The fuel tank capacity for SR130 and SR150 models is 60.5 liters (16.0 US gallons). The recommended fuel specification is #2 Diesel. p. 159
What is the engine crankcase oil capacity for SR175 and SV185 models with a filter change?
The engine crankcase oil capacity for SR175 and SV185 models, including a filter change, is 8.0 liters (8.5 US quarts). The specified engine oil is 10W-30 Engine Oil7-28. p. 159
